2018 FORD FIESTA1.0L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of deferred repairs regarding consumable components. The most recent test performed in January 2026 at 64,949 miles highlighted several pressing issues including a low brake hydraulic reservoir, insecure heat shielding, and tyre damage. While the car passed, the recurring nature of pitted brake discs and worn tyres across multiple years suggests the owner only addresses faults when they approach MOT failure thresholds rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 22,654 miles in early 2021 to 64,949 miles in early 2026. There was a notable jump of over 10,000 miles between the January 2023 and 2024 tests, which correlates with the increased wear observed on the brakes and tyres during that period. No significant gaps in testing or usage are noted in the recorded timeline. A buyer must inspect the braking system thoroughly, as the record indicates persistent pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs since 2024. The 2026 report of a low fluid reservoir level suggests a potential leak or significant pad wear that requires immediate attention. Furthermore, the recurring cuts on the nearside and offside tyres, along with consistent edge wear, indicates the tyres are being utilised until the legal limit. The structural integrity of the under tray and sill covers should be verified, as these components have been flagged as present since 2021, which can sometimes mask underlying corrosion on the sills.
